Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008015390A1] Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for integrating optical interfacial elements (40, 55, 60) with a high power acoustic resonator (10). More specifically, but not by way of limitation, in certain embodiments of the present invention, one or more optical interfacial elements may be integrated with a high power acoustic resonator to provide a robust sensing device that may provide for acoustic cleaning of the optical interfacial elements and/or combining optical and acoustic measurements made by the integrated system for analysis purposes. In certain aspects, the high power acoustic resonator may include an acoustic horn (15) for focusing acoustic energy and the optical interfacial elements may be integrated with the acoustic horn.
